Facial Privacy in Public Camera Systems — Safer Monitoring with GDPR Compliance
As public camera systems become more widespread, ensuring privacy and legal compliance is more important than ever. At Vision Link, we use real-time face obscuration technology to automatically blur or mask identifiable faces in video streams—protecting individual privacy without compromising the effectiveness of remote monitoring.
This approach helps:
✅ Enhance public trust by making camera systems less invasive.
✅ Comply with GDPR and UK data protection laws regarding the use of identifiable personal data.
✅ Support ethical surveillance in parks, walkways, roads, and public infrastructure.
Under GDPR, capturing or storing identifiable images of individuals without a clear legal basis can lead to serious legal consequences. Our face-masking solution ensures that video footage remains useful for situational awareness and safety—while staying fully compliant with data privacy regulations.
Facial privacy isn't just good practice—it's a legal requirement. Vision Link’s technology helps organisations balance safety, transparency, and trust in every public-facing monitoring system.
